    Bottomless Cup Coffee
    Luis S.

    This is a great spot for breakfast/lunch! My lady and I had a day off together and ended up here for breakfast! YES, I had a cheeseburger for breakfast and I have no regrets. I was very enthusiastic to eat it when it arrived that I burned my tongue but it was VERY flavorful. My lady ordered India's Chicken Pesto and it was a hit! Service was very pleasant. The crowd is very small town so I enjoyed that it wasn't crowded. There's something relaxing about the sounds of a cafe staff cooking and tending to their clients. We will be coming back for more.

    I really like this place. The food is good, and it's genuinely special to dine somewhere that has been in business for so long. There's a lot of charm here, and I can see why people enjoy it. That said, I'm giving this feedback in the spirit of helpfulness, not criticism. I think service in restaurants generally has shifted lately, and I would love to see this place stand out by bringing back more attentiveness and hospitality. Our waitress was very sweet, and I could tell she was a kind person. However, after our meal, our plates were never picked up. She dropped off the bill, came back for the card, returned the card, and walked by several times to help nearby customers, but our dirty plates stayed in front of us the entire time. We were sitting on the patio, enjoying a conversation while waiting for our vehicle to be repaired, and it would have made such a difference to have the table cleared and maybe a warm-up on the coffee. For people who enjoy coffee, especially those of us over 50, sitting and chatting after a meal is part of the dining experience. We're not necessarily trying to rush out the door just because the check has been paid. Hospitality doesn't end when the card is run. My friend purchased the meal and likely tipped around 20%, but honestly, I would have happily tipped extra if the plates had been cleared and the coffee had been refreshed. Small things like that really matter. They make customers feel cared for instead of forgotten. I'm not giving a lower rating to be harsh. I actually believe this waitress is capable of five-star service, and I believe this restaurant is too. I just hope management will continue training servers on the little timelines and details that make a meal feel truly hospitable: checking coffee, reading body language, clearing plates, and not leaving guests feeling kinda dumped after they've paid ( and even tipped well) This place has so much going for it. With just a little more attention to the guest experience, I think it could be even better. This definitely doesn't hold me back from dining here again however, I probably will politely speak up next time or not tip

    Corned Beef Hash & Eggs
    Tanya M.

    Hubby and I came here for a late breakfast and it was first time here since the new year. Wow they updated the interior and food presentation since the last time I was here. The place seems brighter and more open to be and I loved it. Even the bathroom was brighter as it was dark for me in the past. I got my fave the hash and eggs plate and it did not disappoint. The service here was great as always along with all the workers being friendly. Hubby got bacon and eggs and enjoyed his food too. The coffee was good and kept filled too. Glad to still be able to come back and enjoy.

    Patty melt cooked medium. Lots of fries. Really good dill pickle.

    The food is always good here. Service is quick and friendly. Always locals enjoying a meal in a comfortable place. I had the patty melt with a boat load of fries. Really good!

    It was our first time here, we were here for a car show. This was one of the only places nearby to get breakfast. That being said, this place was packed, and there was a waiting list. After a 15-minute wait, we were seated in no time. This place was a lot bigger on the inside than I thought. They had 2 entrances/ exits, and through each room was a dining area. I believe there is possibly another room in the back and outdoor seating. Looking around you can tell this place has been here for a while, since 1998 I believe. The lady who helped us was super nice, and she took her time with us. We were a party of 14. She wasn't rushing us with how busy they were. Our food was out in no time, and you could taste the quality of the food. I thoroughly appreciated how delicious the food was, even with all the hustle and bustle of everything. My husband and I ordered: 1. Short stack of pancakes: You have the option to have it thin and crispy. We just had it the regular way. The pancakes were fluffy and buttery. The syrup was even piping hot. 2. Hearty country breakfast: They did not skimp on the gravy with the biscuits and gravy. I'm happy I decided to go with sausage patties. It was heaven in every bite. This place was amazing, and I definitely can't wait to come back soon. There are so many more items I want to try

    Pigs in a Blanket, Bottomless Cup Coffee

    Very tasty! I asked for chocolate chips in the pigs in a blanket combo and they were very accommodating. Coffee was good too.

    Chicken fried steak red potatoes and eggs over easy
    joey p.

    OK it's been along time since I had food from this restaurant. . My car was broken down this morning so I ordered via DoorDash . We both had the chicken fried steak with red potatoes and fried eggs . The food showed up warm and the eggs were cooked perfectly to order. The chicken fried steak and potatoes were both good and portions good size. The good news with the DoorDash discount and tipping the driver I paid 42 bucks. The bad news is had I went to the physical restaurant I would have ended up paying about 54 dollars for breakfast (without drinks) which is way too much. I wish you all well but the high menu costs are why I don't come here anymore

    Anders B.

    Listen up Vallejo, if you want the best breakfast, this is the place to be. we were seated, fantastic coffee was brought out almost as soon as we sat down. We ordered, and it got to the table incredibly fast. I look forward to coming back for that bread pudding

    Went on a Sunday afternoon with family. Such a homey local welcoming restaurant. Everything that we ordered was delicious! Portions were huge and we all had leftovers. Customer service was excellent!

    Reuben and sweet potatoes fries.
    Jeff W.

    I had the Reuben samdwich with sweet potatoes fries. Fries were good. Sandwich was okay. It would have been better with Russian dressing. Without dressing it was on the dry side. We have been coming here for years and I am finally writing a review. Service is generally very good but this time not so much. I would give 3.5 stars but not 4. Lots of good breakfast and lunch dishes. Slightly overpriced, in my opinion. Still, a good local place.

    Cinnamon waffle
    Nadine D.

    This restaurant has a nice & cozy family run feeling to it as the restaurant displays beautiful handmade mosaic on the walls. The service was great, the person who was hosting my party informed us of their daily specials of cinnamon waffles in which I ended up getting because she informed me of how delicious their cinnamon waffles are & had to try it from their recommendation. I also got the hot chocolate and it was delicious! They put lots of whipped cream on the cup. The hot coco is on the creamier side and thought it was really neat that they put a drizzle of chocolate syrup and sprinkle on top. Made me feel like a little kid enjoying my drink. :)

    This is my first time eating at The Good Day Cafe. I really enjoyed my food. The restaurant is small but roomie. It's clean and a little dated, but the food is pretty amazing. Many people don't like going to Vallejo, but this restaurant is in the older part of Vallejo where there are many shops in the area. Today I ordered the Country Fried Steak and eggs. It came with choice of bread and I chose the corn bread. The portions are very sizable and better yet, the food was delicious. The potatoes were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, what a treat. My steak was nice and crispy on the outside and the gravy gave it that special taste you expect when you eat a country fried steak. My hubby had the French Toast. It came with eggs and choice of sausage or sausage patty, he chose the patties. It was a very large portion, so if you choose it, make sure you're hungry The French toast was very good, I had a taste and enjoyed it very much. The servers are very friendly and overall, it was a good first time experience. I will definitely come for breakfast again to enjoy other things on the menu. I do highly suggest you try this restaurant at least once, I'm sure you will come back again and again to enjoy a delicious hearty breakfast.

We go for good food and Noonies disappointed for food. Service: The service was cool. Nothing special but a pleasant interaction. Parking: Decent parking in front of the building. Overall: It's cool!

The shrimp and chicken fried rice is also a must. The staff are bubbly and friendly both on the phone and in person.

But when you enter it's like you're transported to Thailand, the spacious interior teeming with vibrant aesthetics. The service was hit or miss, though there weren't that many people. We ordered a variety of dishes but the cadence of food arrival was very sporadic. I had to go up a few times to ask for napkins and water refills. I wasn't impressed with the appetizers- chicken wings and calamari portions were basic and small. The prawn pad Thai, pineapple and crab fried rice dishes and the desserts were pretty good. With so many Thai places that have great service and food, this place was mediocre. At least parking is free- probably best for takeout!
